Rate Andre Ward - how good is he now?

A+ is for me Floyd or perhaps Pac. I rate Ward as a A, but he might exceede that. It would have helped had he not ducked Bute, the Dirrell brothers and tried to drain Dawson.

 

ducking Bute, are you kidding me? Bute would have no chance.

 

He's a top 5 fighter in the world right now so I'd say A+

 

What is your problem dumb**** ? 40% people think that, not my problem if it's full of **** in front of your eyes.

 

We did not know that until Froch did Wards dirtywork for him.

 

A+ for today in the 168-175 pound weight range. A notch or two below that in a historical sense.

 

A level. Solid elite.

 

A+ .. He has an incredible skill set, good speed and maneuver ability.. He is a future ATG.

 

border line elite level. To compare him to greats like Hopkins, Tony, and RJJ is just pushing it. He hasn't shown that he is on that level. I think some people overrate him, they act like he's unbeatable. He's not. And Dawson will beat him at 168 or 175.

Also Ward still has a lot to prove.

 

Let's not forget Ward did quite a number on your boy Froch and will again if they were to ever rematch. Ward is, at least a level ahead of Froch. Ward beats anyone at 168 lbs., including the Light Heavyweight Champion. Can we say the same about Froch?

 

I agree with everything you write. But Ward did avoid Bute temporarily, before Bute was exposed. He is very strategic about the way he manages his career. I guess I cant blame him, but I do find it a bit annoying.

 

A. Not A+ yet, Maybe a few years if he becomes a " star '' type fighter,

Some Extreme Casuals still don't know him sadly.

 

He is elite and I really like that he is going after Dawson (tho not sure if he is making Dawson fight at a lower weight.)

If he gets past Dawson, I think he cleared the field.

The only thing I don't like about him is his style of fighting. It is not the prettiest to watch and for that reason I can't see him ever being a star with the likes of Roy Jones et al.
